HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS002 BUXTON CEMETERY NORTH SMITHFIELD RI
Location: 600 ft north of BUXTON STREET at TEL pole # 42
5 burials with 2 inscriptions from 1813 to 1874
25 ft x 25 ft in poor condition no enclosure; sign in good condition
NOTE: Cemetery was first surveyed by Irene Nebiker in the early 1970's. She
described location as Buxton Street Tree Farm. Roger Beaudry surveyed on October
28, 1994. At that time the cemetery stood at the edge of a corn field, adjacent

from the road. The cemetery is totally overgrown with trees, brush and weeds. The
stone wall has collapsed in some places and fallen into the cemetery. Only two
legible stones and 3 field stones were found. The borders of the cemetery are
impossible to determine, therefore the use of 25' X 25' was used only because
this is the area in which the visible stones were found.

its condition can only be described as deplorable. It is totally overgrown with trees,
brush, and tall weeds. Leaves and fallen branches were high enough to cover most of
the fieldstones.
Land records in the North Smithfield Town Hall give the size of the lot as .016 acres,
and lists no owner. In past surveys, this lot was referred to as the Andrews Lot, town
records list it as the Wilkinson Lot. The registered name has been changed to the latter.
Transcribed by Ron Farrar circa 1970, "Primrose Grange, Grange Road. 12 to 14
fieldstone graves."

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS031 OLD ALDRICH BURIAL GROUNDS NORTH SMITHFIELD RI
Location: 30 ft south of GREAT ROAD
102 burials with 76 inscriptions from 1833 to 1980
Tax Assessors Map #: 9 Plat #: 9 Lot #: 410
NOTE: Covering an area of 1.00 acres, this cemetery is clearly laid out in the
town of North Smithfield plat book. Its name is officially "Old Aldrich
Burial Grounds of Hotchkiss Cemetery." It lies between "Old Town Burial
Grounds" (NS036) to the West and "Union Cemetery Annex" (NS037) to
the South and East. This cemetery as well as the two others mentioned are badly
neglected and vandalized.
Anyone working in NS031, NS036, & NS037 should look at these three cemeteries
as one group. Without a proper land survey, it is almost impossible to determine
where one cemetery ends and the others begin. In the case of stones which no longer
exist but were mentioned in previous surveys, I have listed them where I felt
the best belonged.
This cemetery is laid out in small family plots as follows:
Section "A"-Area surrounded by granite posts w/iron rails.
Section "B"-Is an open area.
Section "C"-Is an open area with corner posts only.
Section "D"-Is a raised area with granite corner posts, no other borders.
Section "E"-Is an open area between Sections "C" & "F".
Section "F"-Is an area surrounded by granite posts w/iron rails and gate.
Section "G"-Is an area surrounded by granite posts w/iron rails.
Section "H"-Is an area surrounded by granite posts w/iron rails.
Referred to in Union Cemetery Records as "Owen Allen Lot"
Section "I"-Is an area surrounded by granite posts w/no rails.
Referred to in Union Cemetery Records as "Andrew Potter Lot"
Section "J"-Is a triangular lot surrounded on two sides by a dirt road
which merge together at the tip of the triangle.

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS032 MOWRY LOT NORTH SMITHFIELD RI

15 burials with 1 inscriptions from 1875 to 1875
30 ft x 50 ft in poor condition enclosed with granite posts and iron rails;
sign in good condition
NOTE: Surveyed by Irene Nebiker in 1977. Resurveyed by Roger Beaudry Nov 25,
1995. At the time of the last survey, lot was in deplorable condition. Some of
the granite post were down and the iron rails had been twisted. It appears that
at one time the lot had some sort of heavy equipment attempt to obliterate it.
The way the post had been knocked over does not appear to have happened by
nature. There is a sign in excellent condition except for the fact that it has
been stuck in the ground some 100 feet away for reason(s) unknown. The only
engraved stone ii the lot was down and covered by leaves and a fallen branch.

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS033 MOWRY-SMITH LOT NORTH SMITHFIELD RI

13 burials with 7 inscriptions from 1835 to 1905
32 ft x 32 ft in fair condition enclosed with granite posts and iron rails;
sign in good condition
NOTE: Cemetery transcribed by James N Arnold and recorded in Volume 25, pages
294-295 under Smithfield. He describes cemetery as:
"On the Douglas Pike on the Patrick Hasseline farm, once the Smith Place
below the railroad crossing in from the road. Lot fenced by iron rails and granite
posts."
Cemetery also transcribed by Irene Nebiker in the early 1970's.
Cemetery was re-surveyed by Roger Beaudry on November 26, 1994. At the time of this
survey there was but one footstone and 2 field stone markers still in their original
position. All other engraved stones were leaning against the granite posts. How they
became dislodged from their original position is a matter of speculation.

NOTE: Surveyed by Roger Beaudry on Sept 23, 1995. At the time of the survey,
cemetery was on property which was being sold as a house lot. Only two stones
could be found and area was not enclosed in any way. The size of lot is only

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS035 BAKER LOT NORTH SMITHFIELD RI

9 burials with 8 inscriptions from 1839 to 1874
50 ft x 37 ft in good condition enclosed with granite posts; sign missing
NOTE: This cemetery was discovered and recorded on December 24, 1992. It is
to the rear of 2000 Providence Pike behind a home owned by Mr & Mrs Steven
Biron. Mr Biron was a childhood friend of Roger Beaudry, and told him of the
cemetery found on his land when his home was built in the late 1980's. It
turned out that the cemetery was not recorded either by the state in the 1970
survey or by Irene Nebiker in her survey of the early 1970s. Mr & Mrs Biron
have restored the lot and take care to maintain it, and have reset the stones
that were down. This cemetery was named by Roger Beaudry, the Baker Lot, for
obvious reasons. The cemetery itself is surrounded on two sides by stone walls
and on two sides with granite posts with missing rails.

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS036 OLD TOWN BURIAL GROUND NORTH SMITHFIELD RI
Location: 30 ft south of GREAT ROAD
136 burials with 101 inscriptions from 1830 to 1979
Tax Assessors Map #: 9 Plat #: 9 Lot #: 411
NOTE: Covering an area of 1.25 acres, this cemetery is clearly laid out in the
town of North Smithfield plat book. It lies between the Old Aldrich Burial
Ground of Hotchkiss Cemetery to the East (NS031), Union Cemetery to the West
(NS007), and the Union Cemetery Annex to the South (NS037). Except for Union
Cemetery proper all other cemeteries are badly overgrown and neglected. Only
a few family plots in Union Cemetery Annex are maintained by Union Cemetery.
Anyone working in NS031, NS036, & NS037 should look at these three
cemeteries as one group. Without a proper land survey, it is almost impossible
to determine where one cemetery ends and the others begin. In the case of stones
which no longer exist but were mentioned in previous surveys, I have listed them
where I felt they best belonged.
This cemetery is made up of small family plots laid out as follows:
Section "A"- Area surrounded by granite posts w/iron rails.
Section "B"- An open area between Sections A & C.
Section "C"- Area surrounded by ornate iron posts and rails.
There were no stones or fragments found within its borders.
Section "D"- Area surrounded by granite posts w/iron rails.
Section "E"- Area surrounded by granite posts with no rails.
Section "F"- Area surrounded by granite posts with a heavy cable.
This area is maintained by Union Cemetery.
Section "G"- Area is outlined by four granite blocks.
Section "H"- Area surrounded by granite posts with no rails.
Section "I"- An open area between sections H & J.
Section "J"- Area is surrounded by granite posts w/iron rails.
Section "K"- Area is outlined by four granite blocks with letter
"H" carved in each one.
Section "L"- area is surrounded by granite posts with iron rails.
No stones or fragments were found, however two depressions were
clearly visible.
Section "M"- Area is surrounded by granite posts with iron rails.
There is also a iron gate.

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS037 UNION CEMETERY (ANNEX) NORTH SMITHFIELD RI
south of GREAT ROAD
209 burials with 135 inscriptions from 1807 to 1992
NOTE: This cemetery name and number is being given to that remaining area which
does not include Old Aldrich Burial Ground (NS031), Old Town Burial Ground (NS036),
or Union Cemetery proper (NS007). The Superintendent of Union Cemetery in
discussions with Roger Beaudry and Paul Delisle has stated that this area does not
belong to the Union Cemetery Corporation. They maintain a lot in this cemetery as
well as one in the Old Aldrich Cemetery, only because of perpetual care agreements
which pre-date his tenure as Superintendent. The town records also show this section
being owned by Union Cemetery.
Anyone who plans to do any research in this cemetery should also look at
"Old Town" & "Old Aldrich" since it is almost impossible to
tell which stones belong to which cemetery. This "Annex" consists of row upon
row of stones with only a few family plots. As with "Old Town" & "Old
Aldrich" I have attempted to place stones mentioned in previous surveys but which
no longer exist in their proper cemetery.
The few family plots which exist are broken down as follows:
Section "A"-Open with no visible borders. It is maintained by Union
Cemetery. Cemetery records refer to this lot as the "John White Lot."
Section "B"-Granite corner markers, raised, and broken into four sections.
Section "C"-Setoff by low granite corner markers.
Section "D"-Open area between sections "C" & "E".
Section "E"-Surrounded by granite posts with no rails.
Section "F"-Surrounded by granite posts with no rails.
Section "G"-Open area after Section "F".

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS038 SOUTHWICK/USHER/INMAN LOT NORTH SMITHFIELD RI
GREAT ROAD, FORMERLY LOCATED ON POUND HILL RD
32 burials with 10 inscriptions
NOTE: This cemetery was originally located on the farm of E. Carpenter on Pound
Hill Road. The government took over the land in order to build a Nike Site. This
cemetery was removed from the farm and relocated in Union Cemetery (NS007) in
North Smithfield. It is presently located at the extreme eastern part of the
cemetery between Plat 14 Lot 100 and the Old Town Burial Ground. It is not specified
on any of Union Cemetery's maps, and there's no record of any internments. For the
purpose of this report, it is to be considered a separate cemetery within North
Smithfield. Government documents concerning this move lists 32 burials, and only 12
stones. The numbering used corresponds to that used by the Government.

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS039 ALDRICH BURIAL GROUND NORTH SMITHFIELD RI
PARK SQUARE (REMAINS MOVED NS7,UNION CEMETERY)
22 burials
NOTE: The remains of 22 skulls and bones were removed from the present day
site of the Super Stop & Shop at Park Sq on the N. Smithfield/Woonsocket
line on 12 August, 1958 and reinterred in Union Cemetery. A photo appeared in
the Woonsocket Call of August 4, 1958 with the following caption:
"CHECKING 200 YR OLD TOMBSTONES. S Burton Mowry, superintendent of
Union Cemetery, checking headstones of Aldrich Family Cemetery in North Smithfield
where skeletal remains, some 230 years old, are being removed to make way for North
Smithfield Shopping Center in area behind Park Square Diner. Remains will be buried in
Union Cemetery."
The remains were all buried in a common grave at Union Cemetery, and no stones appear
to have been moved, the fate of the stones in photo are unknown.
Arnold's records Volume 25, page 438 lists this cemetery as being in Smithfield. The
data, collected by Mrs Emma B Shaw date unknown, lists 6 stones, and is described as
follows.
"This cemetery, as one turns going north from Louisquisset Pike to go to
Union Village, is off on the left on a knoll. There is a tall tree standing alone and
under this tree are the following stones, also many not marked:"
Aldrich, Simeon 1726-7 aged 21 years
Aldrich, Levi 1726-7 aged 19 years
Aldrich, Walter S. son of
Andrew J & A----- d. Sept 2, 1837 7m 20d
Aldrich, Reuben 1726-7 aged 23 years
Aldrich, Hannah 1732 aged 7 years (?)
Aldrich, Lydia aged 2 years
In the 1958 photograph in the Woonsocket Call, one of the stones pictured is that of
Hannah Aldrich. This leaves little doubt that the cemetery described by Shaw and the
one at Park Square are one in the same.
This cemetery has not been recorded.

HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NS040 BLACKMAR CEMETERY NORTH SMITHFIELD RI
Location: 10 ft east of PROVIDENCE PIKE (ROUTE 5) at TEL pole # 169
2 burials
25 ft x 50 ft in poor condition no enclosure; sign not installed yet
NOTE: Irene Nebiker's survey in the early 1970's indicates that this area adjacent
to Wing Lot (NS026) is called the Blackmar Cemetery. Her notes indicate that its
boundaries are (2) RI Highway markers to the East and a retaining wall parallel to
Providence Pike to the West. This area is approximately 25 feet X 50 feet. When
surveyed by Roger Beaudry on November 25, 1994, it contained two rough fieldstones
that could possibly have been used for headstones. As of the date of survey, Irene
Nebiker has not been contacted in order to determine her source of information.
This cemetery is being registered on the strength of her notes.
